He Hit Him with a Water Bottle! Self-Defense or Assault?

Survival is step one. We’re step two.

Armed Attorneys Leslie Cross and Richard Hayes discuss a youth softball fight in Sugar Land, Texas, where a man was struck with a metal water bottle and knocked unconscious. The man accused of throwing the blow claims he was poked first—but does that make it self-defense?

Can a metal water bottle be considered a deadly weapon? Would a poke in the chest justify a strike to the head? And what if a bystander had pulled a firearm to stop the attack?

We break down the confrontation, the difference between force and deadly force under Texas law, and how a claim of self-defense could turn into an aggravated assault case. We also discuss defending a third person—and why believing your actions were justified doesn’t mean you’ll avoid arrest or a trial.

You don’t get to choose when or where you may need to defend yourself. Sometimes, it happens at your child’s softball game.
